Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, University of Nottingham

Adelaide is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Nottingham, UK, where she is conducting her research project: “Figurations of the Arctic in Russian Cinema, 2010 – Present”.

Her research interests lie in contemporary Arctic and Russian cinemas, and more broadly in representations of indigeneity, race, gender, class, and local and national identities in contemporary global cinema.

She obtained her PhD in Russian Studies (2020) from the University of Manchester, UK, where she investigated representations of the provinces in contemporary Russian cinema. She has contributed articles to scholarly publications including Film Studies, The Routledge Companion to European Cinema, The Oxford Research Encylopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Communication, and The Slavic and East European Journal. She has also taught courses on World Cinema, Film History, and Hollywood Cinema at the universities of Manchester and Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3.
